So you wish to find the name of a Smart Style from the name of the Smart Form? Typically, the style is set at the top of a form (Form Attributes --> Output Options). However, there can be overrides at lower node levels within a form (i.e., an address node using a separate style), so to be thorough you'd need to check everywhere.

But before you go on a fishing expedition, you should note, as a practical matter, that these overrides are rare. And when they occur, usually you'll be able to identify a different style assignment based on test printouts. That will help you zero in on which node(s) to check specifically.
